bloemencorso Zundert Flower parade Holland Zundert the netherlands 

I didn't understand a word but that parade seems amazing.

this is better than carnival

Thousands turn out to Bloemencorso, as hamlets compete with each other to create the most beautiful display - including this sinister-looking fishy creature. Each of the competing districts of Zundert - which was the home of Vincent Van Gogh - constructs its own entry and competes in the parade, which occurs every first Sunday in September. According to those behind Bloemencorso, the parade is all the work of dedicated volunteers, who do not profit from the colourful display. A staggering six to eight million dahlia flowers are used to produce the floats.

so strange to see entire crowds where no one looks like like they're enjoying themselves.
